A lot of people think I'm shorter than I am, and that has always bothered me. Most people think I'm around 5'10".

I remember on Scarface coming in to meet [5'7" tall] Al Pacino, and he didn't get up to shake my hand. The only leading man I ever worked with who was psychotic about my height was Chevy Chase, and he's 6'4".

It does look about right, nearly 6 ft 4 in his prime, but baffling why a man of his height is bothered that people think he's 5 ft 10 as in person he should always feel tall. And baffling why he was anal about Sigourney's height as he's taller than her even in heels! Shows that people can be insecure at any height!

One of the tallest looking 6´31/2 guys on the site. If he would not have claimed that height then i really would have guess him 192,5. Not legit 6´4 but very close. Did look 6´3 3/4 and i stink most would agree with that. But at the same time he must havge been measred at 6´3 1/2 sometime if he claimed it. Today there is a very small chanse that he is still 6´3 he is almost 80 years old. Zachary levi was taller in chuck back in around 2008. I believe he is down to 189. 3-3,5 cm loss.

Chevy didn’t really expect him to be as sensitive about his height. At times he was sensitive of being around tall female co-stars. He obviously was never below 183cm. He was peak 191.5cm-192cm mid-day height.

He can look 6’3.25” peak at times but I think his casual posture at time might make him seem lower, in spite of Sigourney Weaver about him being rudely self conscious about his height despite it being ample (maybe he only had a problem with tall women not men).

I dont agree with you rampage. Therese is not more beetween him and Murray than, Murray and Adam (189). Clearly around 189 now with a legit 192 peak. I axtually think he could have benen 6'33/4 on good dags.

Chevy is a legend and claimed 6'3 and half" in the 70s though super tall. Sigourney Weaver is an inch shorter than her listed height. Chevy is 77, so he shrunk 2 inches.

He quite clearly meant that he was 6'3.5" in his prime in the Stern interview... A reasonable enough figure. No need to go above or below that.

Chevy seems honest enough about his height, so he gets 6ft3.5 for his peak and half-an-inch less for today's height. 😁👍

In the 2007 book, "I'm Chevy Chase - and you're not", Chevy is quoted as describing working with Jack Palance, saying that "Jack was a wonderful man, a big hulking man almost my fathers age, and taller than I am, and intimidating-looking. There wasn't Tinsel Town remotely around this guy. He lived in Pennsylvania on a farm. He was well read. He was quiet and a sweet guy. He was just terrific." The book also highlighted the little known piece of information that Jack Palance was a professional heavyweight boxer in the 1930s under the name Jack Brazeau. So both were definitely tall fellows and no wonder Jack Palance could do those one handed or one fingered push ups! This comment provides further evidence of both individuals being tall in height and as they are both listed in same range in the 6ft 3in / 6t 4in range, combined with the quotes below, Rob's listings seems pretty spot on.

There is an image from Dirty Work (the movie) with Chase and Norm MacDonald. Chevy is a solid 2 inches taller. I've met Norm a few times, and he's a solid 6'1" or 6'2". Chevy was at least 6'3" in his prime if not the 6'4" we hear about. His saying he was 6'3.5" sounds like an exact measurement so he probably just rounded up to 6'4". It's fair to say he could have lost 1/2 inch, so a current 6'3" seems spot on.

People have wild misconceptions of height (just look at the heights of people on this site, they’re all over the place). It’s believable if he says he’s been mistaken for 5’10. I’m 5’9 3/4 - 5’10 afternoon barefoot and I’ve been mistaken for shorter than 5’6. (I’m stocky with a long torso.) Also, I thought Chevy was about 6’. Never knew he was this tall.

On Norm McDonald Has a Show, he looks around the same height, possibly shorter than Norm (who is 6'1.5" or so). Definitely shrinking a fair bit in his old age, but still tall.

6 ft 3 probably. I'm not sure about his peak height being 6 ft 4. To be 6 ft 4 you need to be just about 193cm. Google has him listed as 192. I reckon 6' 3 is fair.

6'3.5" for his peak height is RIDICULOUS. Chevy meant he was 6'3.5" at the time Howard interviewed him, NOT during his prime. He claimed 6'4" throughout his career and even 6'5" back in 1985.

I wouldn't guess Chase less than 7" taller than De Niro, but I think De Niro has waved goodbye to 5'7.5" and now might measure 171 cm, so I agree with you guys about Chase, especially since Chase will still stand straighter at times so he's probably dropped below 6'3". How much below is what I'm not sure about. Definitely 6'3.5" peak, though. As for Reynolds, even with those boots, he wasn't much taller than De Niro even when he stood comparably. I can't see him more than 5'7.5" today himself when he manages to stand. Shocking and sad considering he may very well have been 5'11" when he was younger.
I wouldn't guess Chase less than 7" taller than De Niro, but I think De Niro has waved goodbye to 5'7.5" and now might measure 171 cm, so I agree with you guys about Chase, especially since Chase will still stand straighter at times so he's probably dropped below 6'3".

Did you see the picture with De Niro? Chevy as you said seems 189 cm and not more.
De Niro is older too. And Reynolds something happens to him. Don't you think?? :(

Pretty tall guy but Randy Quaid always made him look short. I remember scenes where he'd look as much as 2" taller. I do believe though that there was around 1.5" between the 2 so 6'3.5 for Chevy Chase I think is pretty spot on and 6'5 for Randy Quaid.

it seems to specific to be a lie about height...although it is rare, I suppose there might be some examples out there of a tall guy claiming a specific fraction mark, but being taller.

Rampage you mentioned below that my comment was stupid. It's not really stupid I meantioned in my last comment that he may be 5 ft 9 today. I might be wrong with that one after seeing caddyhack again. When he did CaddyShack i would put him no more than 6 ft inches. 6 ft 1 with shoes on..Reason for this is simple. In CaddyShack Chevy chase (Ty Webb) and Cindy Morgan (Lacy Underall) were standing outside of the club flirting.Cindy Morgan is listed as 5 ft 7 inches and she was wearing a 3 inch heel in the movie.Chevy Chase had 1 inch shoes on. That would bring her to 5 ft 10. She was 3 inches shorter than Chevy Chase in the movie scene. The scene where Bill Murray shoots the gofer and misses and blows away a Lantern startling Chevy and Cindy.When he did CaddyShack he looked no more than 6 ft 1 with shoes on..and today he would of lost some height. Perhaps 5 ft 10 to 5 ft 10.5 inches.Many people might disagree with me but remember this, he is 74 years of age now. He would of lost a great deal of height.

The short plump Hotel manager with his mother is 5 foot 6 inches in height. He played the Albino is The Princess Bride.He was not much shorter than Chevy Chase. I would say 5 inch difference. Half a head length. That would of put Chevy at 5 foot 11 to 6 feet tall. Today Chevy is most likely 5 feet 9 inches. Ill say Chevy Chase is 5' 9".

There's a picture of Chevy with Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Selleck and others where he stands right next to Tom Selleck, very straight posture and with footwear showing. Selleck clearly edges Chase, perhaps by an inch and Selleck's posture is not quite as upright. They were both still young enough, so either Selleck was over 6'4" in his prime or Chase was barely reaching 6'3".

Thank you, Danimal! I'm glad someone agrees with my estimates for Candy. No way under 6ft2. I can accept 6ft4 for Chase aswell. He towered over everyone in Caddyshack including Bill Murray.

He looks 1-2 " shorter than Joel McHale in Community when they spar/box in Season 2. That's a good scene because they can't do cheap height tricks.

On Community, he consistently looks 2 inches shorter than 6'4" Joel McHale. He looks like a solid 6'2" these days.

He has lost height looks not much taller than 6ft 0.5 Ryan Gosling. In National Lampoons European vacation he looks no more than 2 inches taller than Eric Idle who was probably around 6ft 0.5 then. This would point to 6ft 2.5 peak 6ft 1.5 ish now. Maybe he quoted shoe height?

He might have known what his own height was because of a measurement, but that doesn't mean he was a good judge of other people's height. John at 5'7", 9", 10"? LOL! Not exactly reliable, is it? And we know that Bill was no shorter than 6'1".
But fair play to Chevy for his honesty. He could have claimed the full 6'4" - as he could easily look that tall at times.

It's funny, Sigourney Weaver talking about Chase insisting that she sit down when they met for a role because he was self-consicuous about how tall she was even though he had inches over her. Certainly in Fletch movies and the Vacation movies, he didn't seem to mind being next to other tall actors.

I find it hard to believe Chevy Chase was 6'4. If thats true there must be a lot of giant actors.
Fletch for example, theres a few guys in it clearly taller than him.

If John Candy was really 6'2, Chase had to be around 6'4. Maybe he was 6ft3.75, and has lost an inch at age 70? I know he really doesn't look 6'3 now, but his posture has never been.very good.

Rob, he is 70 years old. He has lost an inch, he isn't 6'3 anymore. And I agree, he didn't stand out the way a big 6'4 would, but he was definently over 6'3. I'd give him 6'3.5-6'3.75 peak, 189 or max 190 now.

Editor Rob you got to remember that there are other sites that allow talk about what actors get up to or personal opinions (the good, bad and ugly).
Let's try to stick with positives when we can.
Joking about things to do with height is ok, things like BieberBoard ® or Munsters.

........... It's a shame because the man has a gift for improvisational comedy. Whatever his shortcomings, he was always tall, and he was definitely 6'4" in his prime. As others have stated, in 1983's VACATION, he only looked about 1" shorter than Randy Quaid, whom I believe to have been 6'5" in his prime. In 1994's COPS & ROBBERSONS, he is identical to Jack Palance--and Palance, whom I believe to have been 6'4" as a young man, was 74 at the time. If anything, Chase had a fraction on Palance--perhaps a 1/2" advantage.
Two little notes regarding Chase: he never had the best posture, and the years of physical comedy appear to have taken their toll. Having seen him in COMMUNITY, he doesn't tower over his co-stars the way he used to. I'd guess him to be a strong 6'2"/weak 6'3" today in 2014. He has lost a noticeable amount of height.

He was for sure shorter than Randy Quaid in the Vacation movies, at times right around an inch difference from the looks of it. Despite being quite tall, I've read Chase gave Sigourney Weaver a hard time when she was up for a role because he was paranoid about looking tall even though he had a few inches height over her.

Chevy Chase was at least 6'4" at his peak, maybe even a little taller. Bill Murray even said himself on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno a while back that "Chevy is about 6'4, 6'5." Now, at almost 70 years old, he's closer to 6'2 though.

No. Chase doesn't stand out like a legit 6'4" guy would. By legit, I mean measured at night under a stadiometre). For the record, I also think Akroyd and Candy's heights are being inflated.

I disagree with Chevy as only 6'3 just as I disagreed with Bill Murray as 6'1.5. The numbers simply don't add up. How could Murray be lowered now to 6'1 and Chevy only be 2 inches taller than him? I see 3 inches difference in SNL and Caddyshack. Mind you, I do think Chevy was only in the 6'3 range in his late 40s due to his back issues. Also, my college professor stated he was the same height as Chevy in Hawaii where he was vacationing and I know for a fact he was 6'4 in 1986.

I met Chevy about 20 yrs ago and again 4 yrs ago. He's actually about 6'2". Every guy is prone to exaggerating by an inch or so....both height and length

I think he was 6"3.75(192cm) in his prime and is now 6"2.75(190cm) at 68

He's in good shape for his age so there is a chance he's still fairly close to 6"4...
He was definitely 6"4 in the 70s and 80s

NO WAY was he anything less than 6'4" at his peak. In National Lampoon's vacation he is wearing sandals next to 6'2"-6'3" John Candy who was in dress shoes and Chevy had minimum 2" on him.. Chevy was at least 6'4" at his peak. 6'3" today..

All that matters is that Chevy Chase turned into the world's biggest douchebag.
Agreed on that point, Mark.
He was a tall, lanky guy. He's still tall--and heavier now. I wouldn't be surprised if he was 6'4" in his younger days. In recent years, he does look like he's lost about an inch from his peak.

I kinda agree but in national lampoons european vacation he towered over most people in that film. even today he still looks like a very tall man at a legit 191cm.
In National Lampoons American Vacation Chevy did not always look like as tall as 192cm though..... its hard to tell really.

"
crazy that he is 6'4. in any movie he does. theres dozens of people on screen who are as tall as him displayed. makes him look to untall"
Agreed, I don't doubt he's 6'4", but his co-stars (Randy Quaid, Akroyd, Bill Murray, etc) are usually pretty tall so a lot of the times he doesn't look THAT towering next to the other actors he's with.

If Chase was 6'3.5 then why is he 3 inches taller than Bill Murray in Caddyshack when he is wearing small-heeled dress shoes and Murray combat boots?

McHale is 6'3". The interviewer in this video is up to his eyes. When the same interviewer talks to Chase, he's clearly an inch below them. The reason why he seems about the same height as McHale, and so many others in his movies is use of platform shoes and other height alterations on co-stars. Chase is 6'4". Randy Quaid is probably 6'5".

I watched Seems Like Old Times and he absolutely towered Goldie Hawn and Charles Grodin.
It's obvious that he would tower Hawn because she's 5'5-5'6 but he made a legit 6-footer like Grodin appear short. Definetly a good 6'4 in his prime,now 6'3

I recently saw dear ol' Chevy on an episode of Chuck. And he did not look anything like the height above. More like 6 feet 2 inches or less. From 1981 to 2009, he has to have lost more than 2 inches. Wouldn't you think?

He was actually probably 6'4.5" in his younger days, hence the 6'5" listings as well he used to be given. As he got older, he used the 6'4" ones instead. NO WAY was he only 6'3.5" in his younger days. He had minimum 2" on John Candy in Vacation (1983) and they both stood up straight.

Watch 'Spies Like Us' and you'll see Chase is quite taller,as obvious, as Dan Aykroyd,who is a legit 6'1 guy. You see clearly that he has 3 inches over him in all their scenes together. I do agree now that he is 6 ft 3.5 in,as he is 65-years-old

When a man, especially an actor says he is 6'4", that is a good indicator he is about 6'2.5", IMHO.
I'll bet he was 6'2.5" max, now around 6'1"

He looked about 4 inches taller than 5'11" Seth Rogen on SNL. 6'3" now and, before age and weight gain, was probably 6'4" in his prime.

Seen Chevey twice once in 94 or 95 coming out of the David Letterman Show he signed a card for me it was drizziling at the time had his ball cap on looked a legitimate 6'3.5, and I saw him again eating in a coffeeshop on 57th St a couple of years ago, he came in after myself and my father were already eating and he ordered what I orderd a grilled cheese deluxe w soda, he ate in a hurry and my father was facing him and kept saying to me is that Chevey Chase multiple times also he kept looking over at him franticly (no wonder he ate in a hurry), I glanced back a couple of times while he was eating and my pops assumption was correct it was Chevey. Still looked about 6'3 or over.

Randy Quaid who is 6'4.5-6'5 himself was always an inch taller than Chase in all the Vactation movies so Chase could have been 6'4 actually.

Demi had medium size heels and he had dress shoes.
i am surprised at this because i know he is 191-192cm today, there was no tricks in that scene so how can he look 183cm !?!!?
very strange movie and very strange scene.
